Sweet Chili Ginger Tofu
Ingredients

Instructions
-
First we need to take all the moisture out of the tofu. Take the tofu and drain all the liquid out the packet. Then pat dry with a paper towel.
-
Next, on a paper-towel-lined cutting board, place the tofu and place another paper towel on top of the tofu. Then place a large flat plate on the top of the tofu; a little weight/heavy. This will help push out remaining moisture outside the tofu. This process can take up to 20 minutes. Tofu right out the packet is too wet to work this recipe.
-
Once the tofu is dry enough, cut into small cubes and set to the side.
-
Mix dry herbs and spices into a medium bowl; whisk well.
-
Add the tofu cubes and gentle mix in the dry seasonings until well combined.
-
Set your air fryer to 370 degrees F and place your tofu into the baking tray for 15 minutes.
Sweet Chili Ginger Sauce
-
Add the sliced onions, red pepper, minced garlic and ginger in a pan and sauté for 5 minutes.
-
Once golden brown, add the coconut aminos, sweet chili sauce and honey for another 2 minutes.
-
Once the tofu is done, add it to the sauce and vegetable mix and give it a good coat/mix.
To Serve
-
Add sweet chili ginger tofu over quinoa or rice.
-
Top with chopped green onions/scallions.
